News in Brief

On 21 October, a statement was posted on Indymedia announcing that a long-time Nottingham activist known as Mark Stone had been confronted with overwhelming evidence, and had confessed to having been an undercover police officer from 2000 to at least the end of 2009.
According to the statement, Mark Stone’s real name is Mark Kennedy. He is said to have been one of the 114 climate activists arrested in Nottingham in April on the eve of an action at the power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar.
While the evidence against Stone/Kennedy has not been made public, it was shared with some groups at the Anarchist Bookfair on 23 October. PN understands that it is compelling.
